Reading multiple threads, it looks to me like the easiest way to replace this fan is by removing the large MMM bar and then taking apart the rear u-joint next to the fan. I hit a stick with my 2305 today, and appear to have bent the fan blades. None of them actually broke, but now they are rubbing on this MMM bar. The fan is actually quite flexible.
It may actually 'self-correct' and only rubs while idling, up to about 1500 RPM. Above that, the fan actually flexes back away from the bar and no longer rubs.
Crappy fan design -- I have to agree. Surprised I went three years without ruining it.
